I went to the celebration around 17:00, quite happy to get an opportunity to get out here a little bit, while Bhante stayed at the Ashram, as it was raining, not so healthy and a wet robe would make for long troubles.
Chanroth's mother seemed in quite bad condition, lying in her bed, eyes closed most of the time and seeming quite absent with a mostly grim expression, with some caring and worried women around her, trying to cheer up and provide comfort, while the celebration was going on outside.
Chanroth guided me to sit with some older upasakas and upasikas in front of the platform for the visiting monks, gave me cola and asked me if I wanted to eat, which I declined. The friendly old monk from the North monastery that I already knew was already there. After greeting, I offered him 3-in-1 instant coffee and chocolate that I had brought from here. Then, after some friendly talk and introduction with the people around, Chanroth was quite busy and not seen for some time. The older people around me were all very friendly and smiling, and talking to me a little bit which I of course did not understand, but it was enough to be comfortable.
Others were eating on tables nearby, arriving guests brought gifts to the dadas at the entrance and music was played.
Three other monks, two younger and one older, soon arrived.
Some good two hours of sitting and enduring the sitting and chanting, back and forth between the monks and the laypeople in front guided by the leader with the microphone, while incense and candles were lighted in front of an altar, drinks and tonics were served to the monks and money donations collected.

In the end, all very tired, the monks and remaining guests left. I was brought with Chanroth and some others, including the young monks from the South monastery in a car and dropped off at the path to the Ashram, already quite late, around 21:00.

I made some photos. But the i-phone and upload function in DokuWiki (both having their own deficiencies) don't work well together. Tried to upload until battery was empty without even one picture so far successfully uploaded. Maybe will be possible later.

May Chanroth's mother get well and develop wholesome mindstates that would lead to a good destination.

After some days again on alms, Atma came till the house of Upasaka Chanroth s mother where a larg fest was started, with tends and so on. The other children desired to invest in such... actually total useless in their situation of bound in gain and lose, to advertis with prestige. Materiel gain as well lose, will just foster more conflicts and later unwise undertakings to "fix" them. Nevertheless, Nyom Srey loves to make and take part on merits toward the Sangha, of what is also part of the fest.
How ever, visiting Nyom Srey, she was not well bodily and after provocating encouragements to metta "if angry try to bite your back"-reminder, mind quick grows better. Also her older daughter, sitting with fearful eyes next to her in the bed, telling "She always asks for Lok Ta", was encouraged to metta rather the fear and holding on for support, encouraged to spead it and simple remember her mother on doing it, explaining ceto-vimutti, liberation of mind. The priest and family very busy, Atma left then, leaving, her ex-husband desired to give Alms.

She and Chanroth wished to invite to the ceremonies in the evening. Nyom Chanroth, not sure if my person would come in the evening, in all cases, wished to report invitation to the fest toward Nyom Moritz and asked then whether Atma would come as well if invited. Telling that it would be no problem to invite, he then, joyful and formal asked to come. Having asked about the time, neither accepting, nor rejecting, my person went then back up.

Is is sure a good support if hearing from all their good friends, knowing that non of them bears anything else then goodwill and surly forgiveness in all regard.
Next to all others here, she might surely gain certain glad mindvif also hearing from "Neak Gru" Sophorn , just mentioned for the case not touched yet.

May all take part on the meritful parts, whether by mind, speech, bodily or all.

After having been well again, Nyom Srey (mother) of Nyom Chanroth, became drunken youth, health, life again, lost her husband to a younger wife, living right next, lost all land which gained not by best means, lost Dhamma, lost health, spended the days in making others, especially ex-husband and new wife down...

As Nyom Chanroth came up today, he shared about her circumstances, that she is in terrible condition and that monks and priest are called to cite for her. Having cancelled almsround again today, not so well, Atma then, hearing so, went down to visit her.

"Who makes you smile? Who makes you angry?...", she was more than pleased and again listened to the Dhamma of right view, metta and Sila. "Your body and appearance is already that of a Peta (hungry ghost), thin, weak, not able to move, a big head and a small thin mouth... Now do you like your mind to follow that or simple stop, turn to metta, Sila and become unable to fall downwardly?..." Also her oldest daughter was present, joyfully asked and listened.

Going back, Nyom Chanroth asked Atma to rest... "look how she looked this morning, the last days, and as Venerable came, she nothing but smiled..."

She also tried to share her merits to all of you: "I have stopped already. Enough and I am feeling well by heart." (oh... not right recorded accidently...)

Back from alms round Atma thought of looking after Upasika Sovann's state, entering the land. Upasika's belly issues and strengh seems to be better as she struggles now with pains of her hurt back.
Encouraging much on useful reflections and o focus on the oain, investigating it while using breath to access, she then joyfully let my person go on again.

Mudita

On alms round way south, having had the "feeling" Bhante there would wish contact, Nyom Chanroth approache, just on the way bringing a Venerable back to the monastery, approached he asked to receive food at the house of his mother, since the family had organised a fest dedicated for the Ancestors and Upasika Sovann. So returning, accepting the invitation, my person went to their home. Having been received at the door and given prepared place, Atma received Almsfood. After this Atma used the occasion to talk to Upasika Sovann on the topics of release by reflecting on the six themes, metta and breath. Althought exhausted she could upright sitting listen for a good while and rejoicing on it.
(As for why south, as seldomn Bhante had thought and send some tonic for Atma on this occation in the early morning.)
